Re: If I can't buy a new Beyonwiz, then what *should* I buy?

Hi Paul Let's do it! I'm waiting on a big enough hard drive to save the various files of the Masters golf that it seems we HAVE to keep forever... That's not coming till late next week so once I've sorted that I'll package it up and send it to you. What's the best way of getting your address? Cheers...

Re: If I can't buy a new Beyonwiz, then what *should* I buy?

Is the PSU problem is fixable?

The more I read about the Panasonic the less I like the sound of it. I may still be machineless by the time you get back from your holiday and might reconsider your offer.

Have a great time.

The Boot OXS folder has been renamed 'My Passport for Mac' because I erased the disk to remove the password that was on it in case that was an issue (hasn't made a difference).

Re: hardware issue?

Hi
Issue has resolved. Appears to be the HDMI connection behind the TV. It's never been touched so not sure what the problem was but jiggling it around seems to have done the trick.
Thanks for all the advice.

The TV works fine by itself so I'll explore your other simpler suggestions to start with.
The machine has been to Warkus once but I can't remember what for but I doubt it would have been a rebuild. Didn't cost enough!! I'm sorry to hear he's not in business anymore.

Reboot did the trick - thanks.
And I did mean the green button, not the yellow one.

I tried rebooting thought the menu options and it got stuck there for about an hour. Resorted to turning it on and off again at the wall (works for the computer!) and it doesn't seem to have done any harm.
